DVD format uses a file type called VOB which is MPG2 format so you need to convert it to this format. TMPG will do this for you and has a nice wizard build in if your not sure on settings.
the res for pal is 720 x 576 audio at 48000hz, 25fps. 29fps for US.
If you would like to make a nice menu then I recomend DVDLab.
This advice is directed at general usage for coverting your own movies that you own. Good luck!
